Summary "How Jerusalem Was Won" by W. T. Massey is a historical account written during the early 20th century, specifically in the aftermath of World War I. This narrative details the campaign led by General Allenby to capture Jerusalem from Turkish control, highlighting the strategic military operations and the importance of taking the Holy City in the broader context of the war. The text aims to illustrate the efforts of Allenby’s Army and the significance of Jerusalem, not just as a military target but as a symbol of civilization and heritage. At the start of the narrative, the author sets the stage by establishing the historical and geographical significance of Palestine as a battleground that has seen various armies throughout the centuries. It discusses the strategic importance of Jerusalem, contextualizing the military campaign within the larger dynamics of World War I, including logistics, troop morale, and the intricacies of warfare. The narrative emphasizes the meticulous planning by General Allenby and his staff to overcome the Turkish defensive positions and ensures that the campaign is conducted in a manner that preserves the sanctity of the Holy City, thus reflecting on the honour and chivalry of the British troops involved.
